www.lysator.liu.se/mit-guide/mit-guide.html The MIT lockpicking guide is apparently the best guide around. I was learning about lockpicking too, had to postpone it as I've been busy. My advice would be to go for it, simple lock pick sets are cheap and it would be a great skill to have. I was going to learn for gits and shiggles. When I get round to it I'm going to amke an ant farm too but thats another story.
